[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 2023090, member: 1403"] Its definitely been geared more towards the general public and making it seem a lot easier than it really is, without any practice. Guy gets a $400 rifle from walmart, a $200 BDC scope, some factory ammo and thinks he can kill deer at 1000 yards cause he seen it on tv...lmao that's my take on things anyway. 20 years ago, a guy actually had to have some sense of how to hit a target at 1K. There wasn't hardly any of this fancy new equipment out, scopes with custom turrets, reliable rangefinders, ballistic apps. Now a days though, just about any joe blow can ring steel at 1K if they have any common sense. My only problem with it is the new guys that havent practiced at the ranges they are intending to shoot animals at. Even with all the latest, newest equipment and gadgets, one still has to know how to use the equipment, and have the time and place to practice, and put it all together. It's good to get people in the shooting sport, but I feel like they've made it a little to easy for the average person to think he can just start shooting at 1K because they see it on tv and think it's easy. Which it is pretty easy at 1K these days, if a guy knows what hes doing and has the place to do it. However, most people dont have access to shoot 1K, therefore they have ZERO business shooting at game that far. That is all. Oh, and BTW, I've always disliked golf in all my life. Nothing is as boring as hitting and chasing a stupid little white ball around and trying to put it in a little hole :) [/QUOTE]
